CANopen hardware and software
CAN is a widely used fieldbus, developed for automotive applications in the early 1980s.
Automata has used CAN intensively in the area of industrial machine control like injection molding, woodworking machines, packaging, textile and so forth. CAN offers reliable, easy to handle and very cost-effective solutions. Therefore CAN was the first choice to equip Automata SCS control units with a fieldbus.
The A1 Automation System comes with a dual CAN interface, already integrated into the system.
For users who want to upgrade their industrial PCs with CAN functionality Automata offers various PCI-boards and the required software.
